Charlie - Paper Crowns lyrics

[Verse 1: ChArlie] Ahem Excuse me King of origami Can you tell me a story Is a paper crown now What's defining human glory It's getting kinda gory out Sorry for the trouble Let me glue a few colorful rocks to you Fix up the wrinkles and tears And crinkles and rips That are flarin' up your worth And sorry for the time That it takes to make and fold you Perfectly When I only end up ripping you Sadly Didn't know people would gawk and stare At a man with a paper crown on top of his head Simply saying, sorry not sorry But sorry for my hate and hits I know how it feels to be on the ground Covered in dirt Knowing you're better than a drunk rap verse But so many people want to wear you proud So I take you down, that's what I said Saying if I put you on top of my head Everyone's faces would start to turn red Steam blowin' from their ears Like you see in cartoons The love they gave you Now they trying to k** you Me The game The race The end of the world The world that people never see The things that cause them not to worry It's different now They wanted to be filled with political power Now they want fame and money That's all I see 'cause they broken Sitting there joking They giving to communities Like it ain't a thing If you listen closely Hear the bells ring Choirs of crowds Hear them sing But wait It seems we all forgot our lines Forgot our rhymes Or worse It seems we all lost our sight [Pre-Chorus: Haley Meehan] Where has the love gone I'm sitting all alone Staring at an empty throne When the love gave out Paper became the king Money money paper Why won't you burn [Chorus: Haley Meehan] Everybody wears their paper crowns They wear them proud on their heads Everybody wants a paper crown At least one before they're dead And though we all are fighting on The crown is far too wrong Whats all the insanity, oh What happened to humanity Everybody wants to wear their paper crowns Proud and loud on top of their heads [Verse 2: ChArlie] Now lets pretend that everybody got what they wanted, nobody's advice, bands, cars, and ice Now lets imagine everybody was getting along And there was nothing ever wrong with the world But too bad 'cause the world was gone It was burned to the ground Set up in flames Man, every single town The toys that everybody got All made of fools gold Paper, plastic Ain't that fantastic Now we only blaming each other 'cause the only time we ever wanna hear the word, NO Is when its coming from your mouth Do you really think your never wrong It's everybody else's fault 'cause you want what they got They get want they want And what they want you can't have And everybody's screaming loud for one more chance But its the end of the dance And as time flew by I waved goodbye And sat real high Off of the medicine your s**ing down To forget bad memories spinning around Hoping to find an answer at the bottom of the bottle 'cause its all you see Doesn't matter what else is falling down You walk from your corner to corner Up, down, north, west, east, and south If that's what it takes to bring you a crown You'd walk the world with me No tree will stand in the way of thee Think a little harder now Who you think you're gonna knock down See there's nothing holding you back But the crowd ain't cheering Ain't making no sound No wonder people asking Who what why and how [Pre-Chorus: Haley Meehan] Where has the love gone I'm sitting all alone Staring at an empty throne When the love gave out Paper became the king Money money paper Why won't you burn [Chorus: Haley Meehan] Everybody wears their paper crowns They wear them proud on their heads Everybody wants a paper crown At least one before they're dead And though we all are fighting on The crown is far too wrong Whats all the insanity, oh What happened to humanity Everybody wants to wear their paper crowns Proud and loud on top of their heads [Bridge: Haley Meehan] Keep on fighting, until you find your strength Keep on colliding, until you find your breath Keep on shouting, until they hear your voice I don't need a crown of paper, I just need to make some noise
